Monday's hot weather

Temperatures ran 15 degrees or more above level on Monday as a high pressure system sent warm, dry air to the coast. The air is heating up as it squeezes through passes and canyons. The temperature hit 84 at Lindbergh Field, making this the hottest day, so far, this year, in San Diego. Forecasters say Tuesday could be even hotter, with the airport hitting 92.

The high pressure "and weak offshore flow will produce temperatures close to record levels during the days through Wednesday," the weather service says. "A cooling trend will get underway and some low clouds and fog will return to the coast Wednesday through the weekend."
